Description

A true story of greed, serial murder and racial injustice unfolds in this riveting account of the Osage Indian nation's tragic fate. In the 1920s, the richest people per capita in the world were members of the Osage nation in Oklahoma, but after oil was discovered beneath their land, their lives began to unravel in a series of brutal murders. The FBI took up the case, but its young director, J. Edgar Hoover, turned to a former Texas Ranger to unravel the mystery. As the death toll climbed, a chilling conspiracy began to emerge, exposing the darkest corners of American history. This gripping true crime story is a fascinating exploration of evil and a testament to the power of determination and justice. With a razor-keen instinct for suspense, David Grann masterfully weaves together the threads of a tragic and forgotten chapter in the history of the American West.
